In the distribution of gifts all were kindly remembered, even to the youngest. We have before known that the ''family of Smiths" was quite numerous, but to one present Christmas evening it would have seemed that the number bearing that name had msrvellously increased, from the frequency with which the name was called in dispensing the gifts Among many beautiful gifts found on the tree for Rev. MT. Smiths family was a very hand some quilt called the ''tree of Paradise, '' each square consisting of seventy-eight pieces.

In hearing from the condition and man.
agement OF the State institutions for the
care and treatment of Jul Insane popu.
lation, | have been induced to write this
letter. Summoned TO meet with the
Board Of Trustees of the Asylum at
Nashville, on December 81, we met and
looked into the condition and manage
ment of the asylum at Nashville for the
last two years. The condition and man.
agement of this asylum Is not inferior to
that of the best institutions of the kind
on the American continent. Tennessee
has reason TO be proud Of this noble Chris.
tian charity, and proud of its manage.
ment. From Nashville the Board came
to Knoxville to inspect the East Tennes.

very superior one in all of its appoint.
ments. In erecting this building the com
mittec entrusted with its erection, ayailed
themselves of all the modern improve.
mcnts and convenience in such instiiu-
tons. and it is a magnificent success.
There were four hundred and four patti
ents in the hospital at Nashville, when
the ninety nine patients were removed Ia
East Tennessee, but their places were
taken in a few days by the unfortunates.
that were confined in the jails and poor
houses In the Western and Middle divi-
sions Of the State, and there are more pa
tients now in the hospital at Nashville,
than before the East Tennessee patients
were removed, while the number now at
Knoxville has increased 10 some two
hundred. Notwithstanding the increas-
ed facilities for the accommodation of
this helpless and dependent class of our
population, there are hundreds Of cases
in the State yet u~nprovided for. There
is no charity equal to that which prompts
a people to provide these asylums for the
mentally diseased. 1t is purely the out.
growth of our holy religion, and the
very essence of Christianity.

pital at Knoxville and tried 10 ma
self acquainted with the entire manage
ment of the institution and am pleased
to say that 1t is excellent. l saw all the
patients from this county, more than
once, and am gratiied to state that they
are most tenderly and carefully provided
for. Much better than it could be done
in the most elegant private home. You
need have no fears for the welfare Of
your afflicted friends who find refuge in
these homes erected by the charity Of tho
State. F. w. EARNEST.

After her marriage she lived in the lat.

who had been followed for years by a
disease which he could not shake of,
died on the railroad train on his way
home from Florida. His long sickness
had greatly reduced him in circumstan-

man took the money she received from
the insurance on his life and paid it over
to settle his debts. saying that mot one
blot should be left on the dead husbands
name even for the sake of q living wife
and eight living children" By this act
she made heself penniless, but at the
same time placed a shining gem in her
noble character that won for her the es.

death of her husband she moved to East
Nashville, where she has fought with a
heroism worthy Of commentator the
strong enemy Of want which has been

place so long held by her worry prede-
ccssor, Mrs. Robert Hatton.
